"Why does my younger brother seem like a completely different person after waking up?"

Immortal Zhenyuan silently observed Sun Wukong, feeling a slight tremor in his heart from their eye contact, yet he couldn't pinpoint the exact feeling.

It was only a moment, but it felt as though he saw a century of vicissitudes.

"Strange, strange."

The Immortal thought to himself, then pinched Water Virtues Star Monarch quite hard.

"Ouch!"

Water Virtues Star Monarch jumped up unexpectedly: "Immortal, why did you pinch me?"

"Couldn't help it."

The Immortal replied absentmindedly, his gaze still fixed forward.

Heavenly King Li was unsurprisingly beaten badly by Sun Wukong.

Finally, with a fierce smash, the shining Jingu Bang crashed down, and amid the loud impact, Heavenly King Li fell like a burning meteor from the clouds.

Flames enveloped his body as the immortals stood on the clouds, watching that figure descend toward the mortal realm.

"We won't see him again for another two hundred years."

Several sighed.

"How come you said 'again'?"

"Didn't you say it too?"

The Immortals were puzzled by Heavenly King Li's fall, and felt less shocked and saddened by it.

After all, he wouldn't really die.

After Heavenly King Li's fall, no one at the Western Heavenly Gate could withstand Sun Wukong.

Before long, Deity of the Moon appeared in front of Sun Wukong.

"Great Saint."

Emperor Zhen Wu also flew over: "I'm here to assist the Deity of the Moon."

Sun Wukong stretched his limbs, his mind becoming clearer, movements naturally surfacing in his memory.

He took out the Palm Leaf Fan and waved it against the wind.

In the next moment, two figures were blown away, disappearing from sight.

"How many times do I have to fan for you to give up."

He sighed, then frowned slightly.

How many times had he fanned?

"My head hurts."

Sun Wukong rubbed his head, too much crammed inside, not yet fully absorbed.

"Never mind."

He turned around and flew towards a palace.

Water Virtues Star Monarch had a feeling, sighing familiarly: "I wonder which unfortunate Immortal Official he's approached now..."

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly shivered.

"No, that's my home!"

Water Virtues Star Monarch shot towards Sun Wukong with unprecedented speed: "Great Saint, wait – not this time!"

"Not this time?"

The other Immortals exchanged looks, seemingly also feeling like their homes were about to be targeted by Sun Wukong.

Realizing what was happening, they too hurried home to move their belongings.

The Heavenly Palace was engulfed in unstoppable fierce flames, smoke and noise of collapsing everywhere.

Sun Wukong transformed into the demon of Heavenly Palace, smashing every palace that stood in his way.

But he met his match at the Palace of Exceptional Rocks.

Emperor Qinghua's Nine-Colored Lotus transformed into thousands of lotuses, the soft glow shining like thousands of sharp blades, encircling Sun Wukong with an astonishing aura.

But Sun Wukong was not outmatched, countless Jingu Bangs creating wind in the air, the clashing sounds of weapons and Immortal Law bursting like thunder, becoming the only sound between heaven and earth.

Heavenly Soldiers not standing far enough were immediately blown away by the aftershock, their defensive formations disarrayed.

"How does he have such Divine Skills!"

The wind raised by the Jingu Bang caused Emperor Qinghua's body to tingle.

Emperor Qinghua fought with increasing alarm, and for some reason, there seemed to be an aura within Sun Wukong that completely suppressed him.

At that moment, Sun Wukong feinted a move and retreated.

"Great Emperor."

Sun Wukong spoke, about to ask if he had heard the sound of flames, but the words changed as they reached his lips.

"Come help me."

Taken by surprise, Emperor Qinghua stopped dead, his face in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Sun Wukong calmly looked at him, his eyes sparkling.

Memories seemed to have blown away a corner of dust, and a familiar scene emerged in his mind, of a middle-aged man guarding a young boy walking side by side on the earth.

That phrase naturally came out of Sun Wukong's mouth.

"You once said to me, if I ever have a request, you must oblige without deviation."

Emperor Qinghua was struck dumb with astonishment.

"You, you..."

He could not have said those words, yet the phrase strangely felt familiar; Sun Wukong said it, and he did not find it absurd but rather somewhat inevitable.

What exactly is going on with this fellow?

Emperor Qinghua looked at Sun Wukong in shock.

How could he be so profoundly shaken upon their first meeting?

Could it be something behind him?

During their fight just now, Emperor Qinghua sensed an unusual aura behind Sun Wukong.

After Sun Wukong spoke those words, the presence behind him became even more distinct.

"What in the world is it?"

Emperor Qinghua opened his Heart Eye to look.

"How... how can this be..."

He finally saw it clearly.

It was a diagram.

Sorrow, hatred... a variety of wills intertwined within it, guarding behind Sun Wukong.

It was the Heavenly Dao.

Emperor Qinghua's mind was deeply stirred.

In the next moment, a beam of light suddenly shot out from within Sun Wukong's embrace.

Both were startled.

The light flew in front of Emperor Qinghua, blocked by a Nine-Colored Lotus.

It was a crystal-clear tear drop.

"Very powerful..."

Emperor Qinghua observed the tear drop; the power emanating from that tiny droplet nearly pierced through the Nine-Colored Lotus.

Yet before Emperor Qinghua could catch his breath, a light suddenly shone from Sun Wukong's eyes.

That shimmer of light flickered and then burst out, merging with the tear drop, instantly piercing through the Colorful Lotus and shooting into Emperor Qinghua's brow.

Emperor Qinghua's pupils suddenly dilated.

Two hundred years rolled by like a river, flowing before his eyes.

He remembered, those days they spent together.

To spread the Wanling Immortal Path, he and that Saint walked through bustling cities, remote villages, and desolate lands seldom trod by man.

As long as people wished to learn, regardless of gender or age, they were glad to teach the Immortal Dao.

Together they faced challenges, weathered storms, and reaped rainbows after the rain.

Those were the familiar two, traveling one world.

Emperor Qinghua recalled those pairs of smiling eyes, that rejuvenated earth.

Those smiles of Wanling, simply the most beautiful thing in the world.

Silent tears streamed down from Emperor Qinghua's eyes.

He lowered his hands.

"Is that so, it turns out to be this way..."

Emperor Qinghua looked at Sun Wukong.

After a long while, he bowed with cupped hands: "I will devote all my heart and efforts, to guard Your Heavenly Dao, Your Majesty."

Sun Wukong had truly become the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if no one in the Three Realms recognized him, he was still from another world, carrying the wills of all beings, a sacred and noble Heavenly Emperor.

The unique sovereign of all in the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong smiled: "Stand up, you'd better keep calling me Great Saint."

He, like Emperor Qinghua, remembered much.

Although he did not understand why the two Emperor Qinghuas merged into one, this was not the matter to worry about now.

"What does the Great Saint wish to do?"

Emperor Qinghua stood up and asked.

Sun Wukong turned towards the Palace of the Polestar: "The mistakes made before shall not be repeated..."

If what Phoenix said was true, then after two hundred years, problems would still arise in the Three Realms.

To ensure the stability of the cosmic order, the authority of the Jade Emperor must not be divided.

"I want to become the Heavenly Emperor."

Sun Wukong declared.

Emperor Qinghua was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, then bowed with cupped hands: "Willing to drive forth."

This was against his Immortal Dao, but this was Sun Wukong's path—the only one that could save the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong turned and walked towards the Palace of the Polestar.

Emperor Qinghua took a step and followed.
